What age is this for?
Are your products educational? They are and the kids won’t even realize it! Our seasonal and unit crates will include an activity guide aligned with learning goals to walk you through each activity we have planned. We’ve also included general learning standards in both the preschool and elementary crates so if you’re using this as a resource for your curriculum the color-coded buttons will help navigation which areas of learning each activity covers.
What learning topics are covered? All of them! Seasonal and mini crates include activities that cover Art, Math, Science, Literacy, Social Studies, Physical Development and Social & Emotional Development!
Can the materials be reused? Yes! Most of the activities are created in a way that they can be used multiple times.
When are the crates released? Seasonal crates are released four times per year.
Once we have passed the release date, crates will be shipped within 3 business days of ordering.
Can I just buy one season? Yes, you can!

How do I decide?
Make learning a lifestyle. With resources for all ages and learning styles, your whole family can Explore Space together. With both a full Unit Crate and a smaller-scale Mini, there's something for elementary-grade kids of all ages. Busy hands big and small are in for hours of open-ended play with the Space Busy Bin, and the Stardust and GLOW Magna-Tiles are the perfect educational toy for expanding planetary play.
Just imagine ... it's a Wednesday morning, and your fifth-grader is intently constructing a solar system model on the playroom floor while his little siblings search for gems in their Space Busy Bin. After lunch, brother curls up on the couch with Where Are the Constellations? for independent reading while the littles sit nearby building a rocket ship with Magna-Tiles. Later, while you're making dinner, all three kiddos are at the kitchen table making toothpick-and-marshmallow constellations. That's the magic of family-style learning! And that's a Knowledge Crates Unit Study. 😉
